### Summary
The current narrative focuses on the direct fallout from Kang Seunghyeon’s physical assault on Yura Hwang's abusive ex-boyfriend, Jeong-u. The confrontation is met with overwhelming catharsis and satisfaction from the audience, who view Seunghyeon’s violence as a justified and long-overdue retribution for Jeong-u's villainy. It is revealed that Seunghyeon was provoked by Jeong-u badmouthing Yura, an act that further cements his status as a protective "green flag" hero. However, a key point of dramatic tension, heavily emphasized by readers, is that Seunghyeon acted without knowing the full extent of the abuse; he remains unaware that Jeong-u previously slapped Yura and staged a "stalker-like" home invasion. The audience now eagerly anticipates his discovery of this truth, predicting an even more explosive, "bulldozer" reaction. With Jeong-u physically beaten, concerns have shifted to his potential retaliation, with many speculating he will create a celebrity scandal by leaking his past relationship with Yura to the press. This escalating threat has also prompted calls for Yura to take official legal action, such as documenting the harassment to build a case for a restraining order, to ensure her safety.
